A guard's voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Prince An, His Majesty requests your presence in the Imperial Study."
"I understand." Dongfang Heng paused in his kissing motion, frowned unhappily, and reluctantly left Shen Lixue.
Li Xue is pregnant and very sleepy. She won't wake up for a while. The emperor's call for him should only be for some minor matters and won't take long. He can wake Li Xue up when he returns.
Thinking to himself, Dongfang Heng got out of bed, carefully pulled the blanket up for her, making sure she wouldn't get cold when she turned over. Dongfang Heng straightened his clothes, walked slowly out of the room, and headed towards the Imperial Study.
The inner room of the main bedroom in Weiyang Palace was very large, and the carved bed was ridiculously big. The familiar atmosphere had faded away, and Shen Lixue was alone. She was sleeping very restlessly. Her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. The inner room was empty, and Dongfang Heng was nowhere to be seen.
Where's Heng? Is he somewhere taking care of something?
Just then, with a loud "bang!", the tightly closed inner room door was pushed open, and a white figure strode in.
Shen Lixue was startled and quickly looked to the side. The vines on Qin Junhao's white brocade robe reflected an eerie light in the dim sunlight, sending chills down her spine. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she sat up warily, coldly shouting, "Qin Junhao, what are you doing here?"
Qin Junhao stood inside the door, slightly taken aback. The person who left the note asking him to come to Weiyang Palace was clearly Ye Qianmei, but the one sleeping in the room was Shen Lixue.
Shen Lixue was taking a midday nap. She had already taken off her outer garment, and her inner garment was loosely buttoned up, revealing patches of crimson. Her cascading black hair was slightly disheveled, and her clear, cool eyes were slightly misty, adding to her indescribable charm. Her delicate collarbones and porcelain-like skin, along with her chest rising and falling slightly due to her anger...
Qin Junhao suddenly felt a dry mouth and throat, and a wave of heat rose up from his body, instantly engulfing his entire body.
Damn it! He'd been drugged with an aphrodisiac, a potent one at that. Once it took effect, he'd have to have sex with a woman. The longer it dragged on, the more torment he'd suffer. Weiyang Palace was in a remote location, with no palace maids nearby, and he didn't have time to find another woman to counteract the drug.
Qin Junhao cursed inwardly a few times, his body moving uncontrollably inside.
Shen Lixue felt increasingly uneasy. Seeing Qin Junhao casually close the door, his eyes glazed over, and approach step by step, her heart tightened, and she said coldly, "Qin Junhao, get out."
Looking at Shen Lixue's cherry-red lips, Qin Junhao felt even more parched. A surge of heat coursed through his body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He stared intently at Shen Lixue, who was quickly putting on her outer clothes and preparing to throw off the covers and get out of bed. His mind became even more restless, and he could no longer care about anything else. He leaped over and pounced on her.
As soon as Shen Lixue's feet touched the carpet, a powerful force suddenly came from behind her. Startled, she quickly turned around and saw Qin Junhao had missed his embrace and was half-falling on the bed, his eyes even more glazed. She grabbed a pillow from the bed and smashed it down on his face.
The pillow hit Qin Junhao's face, but he grabbed it and threw it aside. He then gripped Shen Lixue's wrist tightly, his eyes flashing with intense anger: "Shen Lixue, you can't escape."
"Not necessarily." Shen Lixue said coldly, raising her slender hand to pierce Qin Junhao's wrist with a sharp silver needle.
Qin Junhao seemed not to feel any pain, turned over and sat up, leaning towards Shen Lixue.
Shen Lixue was startled and quickly retreated, crashing heavily into the wall. Her back ached, and she felt dizzy. A strong smell of alcohol wafted over her face. Qin Junhao blocked her way, his hand tightly gripping her wrist, from which she couldn't break free. She glared at the culprit so close to her and said sharply, "Qin Junhao, who sent you here?"
"No one instructed me, I came voluntarily." With desire surging within him, Qin Junhao could hardly hold back. Looking at Shen Lixue's soft, fragrant red lips opening and closing, his eyes were hazy, and his mouth was even drier.
Shen Lixue scoffed, "Qin Junhao, don't think I can't see it. You've been drugged with aphrodisiacs. Did you drink them willingly?"
---Aside---
(⊙o⊙)...It seems like it's almost the end of the month. Just wondering, do you guys have any tickets left?
Chapter 196: Caught in the Act
"Shen Lixue, no matter how much nonsense you talk, you can't escape." The woman that the God of War Qingyan married with great effort was extraordinary. Usually, Dongfang Heng protected her very carefully, and Qin Junhao was also clear-headed, meticulous in his actions, and dared not overstep the boundaries.
Now, under the influence of aphrodisiacs, his mind is clouded, and his lustful desires and audacity have grown stronger. Shen Lixue is alone, with no one around, and this is the perfect opportunity to savor the beauty. He will not let it slip by easily.
As for Ye Qianmei, he'll settle accounts with her when he gets back after he's done what he needs to do.
With her exquisite body so close, and Shen Lixue's unique, refreshing fragrance wafting towards him, Qin Junhao was instantly consumed by lust. His lustful claws eagerly grabbed Shen Lixue's clothes, ready to tear them apart.
Shen Lixue's eyes turned cold. She slapped Qin Junhao's groping hand away and said angrily, "Qin Junhao, I am Dongfang Heng's wife. If you dare to touch me, he will definitely kill you."
Qin Junhao is the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, and he is highly skilled in martial arts. Shen Lixue is no match for him. The location of Weiyang Palace is somewhat remote, and there are no palace maids or eunuchs nearby. Even if she shouts in alarm, she will not be able to summon any guards. She must first buy time and then find a way to save herself.
Qin Junhao forced back his laughter and threw his head back: "Shen Lixue, if Dongfang Heng knew that you were a despised and ruined flower in my eyes, would he still cherish you like a treasure?"
Qin Junhao was indeed wary of Dongfang Heng, but Shen Lixue was the Princess Consort of Qingyan County, who valued chastity above all else. If he concealed the fact that he had forcibly taken her, he could continue to be the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang without any trouble, and Shen Lixue could remain a Princess Consort without any problems. Everyone would be happy.
If the scandal spreads and Dongfang Heng becomes enraged and hunts him down, he can simply return to Southern Xinjiang. On his territory, no matter how angry Dongfang Heng is, he cannot act rashly.
Shen Lixue is a member of the Qingyan clan, and there is no way to avoid it. If she cheats on her husband with another man, she will be condemned by thousands and cursed by tens of thousands. Her fate will be a hundred times more miserable than his.
Shen Lixue is a smart person and will definitely make the choice that is most beneficial to herself.
He was certain she wouldn't dare to make a fuss about it, which is why he dared to flirt with her!
Shen Lixue looked coldly at Qin Junhao: "Crown Prince Qin, if something really happens to us, I will tell Dongfang Heng everything and ask him to seek justice for me. In my eyes, justice is more important than reputation."
The truth will eventually come out, no matter how well it is hidden. If you are wronged, you should seek justice. How can you hide things, deceive your loved ones, and let the criminals live happily ever after?
"You know Dongfang Heng's personality very well. Are you sure you can leave Qingyan unscathed after this incident?"
Ha, Shen Lixue doesn't care about her reputation or honor at all. How interesting!
"After this is all over, I will kill you, and then no one will know about this." Qin Junhao's voice was deep and ambiguous, with a hint of coldness and bloodlust. He was half intimidating and half threatening. If Shen Lixue was smart and cooperated with him to cover things up, he would spare her life. If she didn't know what was good for her, he wouldn't blame her for being ruthless!
Shen Lixue sneered. He had defiled a respectable woman, and to prevent the matter from being exposed, he killed her to silence her. Qin Junhao was truly ruthless.
Desire surged through Qin Junhao's body again and again. His breath was hot. Looking at Shen Lixue, who was as aloof as the moon, his desire to conquer her rose. Like a wild beast being driven, every cell in his body was screaming, wanting to conquer the woman in front of him.
With a lewd claw, he grabbed Shen Lixue's clothes and ripped them apart, revealing her rounded, snow-white shoulders. This further stimulated Qin Junhao's fragile nerves. His eyes gleamed with lust, and he pounced on Shen Lixue like a wolf. "To die under the peony is to die a romantic death." For this beauty, he was willing to be hunted down by Dongfang Heng.
Shen Lixue's gaze was as cold as ice. She brought up Dongfang Heng to intimidate Qin Junhao, not because she was afraid of him, but to prepare enough means to deal with him.
Qin Junhao, disguised as a lecherous wolf, was right in front of her. She smiled coldly, suddenly raised her hand, her pale fingertips flashing with a cold light, and stabbed fiercely towards the wolf's throat...
Outside Weiyang Palace, the sun shone brightly, and holly bushes swayed in the breeze. Ye Qianmei stood behind a large tree, listening to the sounds of fierce fighting inside Weiyang Palace, her laughter cold and smug, causing the flowers to tremble.
Qin Junhao is the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, and he is highly skilled in martial arts. Shen Lixue is a woman who is pregnant, and she is no match for Qin Junhao. At most, she will be pinned down and defiled by him in a quarter of an hour.
Qin Junhao was under the influence of a potent aphrodisiac and was not in his right mind. He would show no mercy and would be driven to make love with Shen Lixue. Shen Lixue was two months pregnant and in a dangerous period. Qin Junhao would definitely cause her to miscarry.
